Chen Zhi gently rolled up the white brocade book, then repackaged it in a yellow brocade bag and put it in his arms.
He turned around and found that Yingzi, who was on the verge of collapse just now, had stopped crying after some persuasion from Fat Wei.
She was quite savvy. Although she couldn't understand everything Chen Zhi said just now, she could understand about half or eight of them.
Fat Wei stepped on the ground a few more times, asking her to carefully identify the difference between her own footprints and others. After she saw that her own footprints were obviously shallower than others, she finally believed Chen Zhi's words and knew that her village included her.
There are big problems in all of them.
But this fact is unacceptable. Yingzi's worldview and beliefs have all collapsed since she was a child. Without spiritual support, her whole body seems to have been pulled out of her soul. She looks around blankly and stops talking.
"Chen, this thing is really incredible...",
Looking at Yingzi in front of her, Mina said:
"A painted village can actually survive in this world in such a real way, and can reproduce here for more than a hundred years, and has not been discovered for such a long time. By the way, aren't they still doing this?
Have you joined the mountain patrol?"
"Do you remember what is written in this brocade book...",
Chen Zhi said calmly:
"Those in power throughout the ages have to shoulder this responsibility. We think these things are over, but in fact, in the eyes of those in power, this matter is not over. They are still continuing this mission.
It’s just that they don’t know that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the village that has guarded the evil god for generations has been quietly replaced. What has been reproduced here for generations is not the descendants of those military officers, but the painted creatures!”
"It seems that these painted creatures are really close to humans! What a miracle...",
Mina said with admiration:
"They have the same appearance and feelings as humans, and they can even have children!"
"Of course, don't forget that Tony's wife is capable of giving birth...",
Chen Zhi turned to Mina:
"These drawn people are just puppets to the manipulator behind them, but that doesn't mean they don't have their own feelings. Their thinking and feelings are relatively simple, and they can't go against the manipulator's main consciousness, just like manipulation.
Just like the cells in a patient's body, they can be used or discarded.
From what I know now, the manipulator hidden behind seems to have some special ability that can instantly possess these puppets.
The children born by the puppet are still puppets! But the children born by the puppet possessed by the manipulator are different, they are called demigods!"
"You mean...",
When Mina mentioned this, she couldn't help but find it difficult to accept:
"What you mean is that the person who was with Tony for a period of time was actually the demigod herself. She possessed the body of his wife and gave birth to the child with Tony, but neither Tony nor us found out.
?"
"right!",
Chen Zhi smiled faintly:
"Actually speaking, strictly speaking, this demigod under the mountain is Tony's real wife! But this demigod's husband is definitely not just Tony..."
"Okay, stop talking about that demigod and husband thing, hurry up and figure out what to do next...",
After Fat Wei helped Yingzi up again, he suddenly thought of Ding Ning.
"Hey, let me say..., the old golden man and Ding Ning are still in the village. I have been worried in my heart. Ding Ning is so stupid. Don't let others bite you again. Let's go back early!"
"We don't have to go back...",
Chen Zhi shook his head gently and said:
"Don't worry, Uncle Jin and Ding Ning will be fine. What we have to do now is to find the entrance to the Gold-selling Cave here..."
"There is no gold-selling cave here!!"
Yingzi, who had just regained consciousness, wiped her tears and replied:
“I have lived here for so many years, is there anything here that I don’t know clearly?
But having said that, it is true that no outsiders have been here, and outsiders are rumoring that there is some kind of nursing home here, which is a vague thing, but if you want to say that there is any gold-selling cave here, there really is none!"
"The Golden Cave is a nursing home. It has always existed in another space. It will appear when needed and disappear when it is dangerous. It's just that we can't see the entrance. If we want to go in, we must ask the owner to open the door for us!"
"Hehe~~, it's a bit difficult to ask people to open the door for us~~~" Fat Wei looked at Chen Zhi with a smile,
"The question is where is the door? I'll knock on it~~~"
Chen Zhi was silent for a while and looked at Yingzi:
"Yingzi, I need your help with this matter. Think about it carefully. After living here for so long, is there any place that makes you feel uncomfortable? For example, there is probably a place where the air will suddenly flow.
The entrance to another space!"
"No, really not~~~"
Under Chen Zhi's questioning, Yingzi panicked again:
"Since I was a child, I have seen forests one after another, and then there is this ancestral hall and the ruins outside. There is nothing left. Otherwise, let's go back to the village now and tell my uncles about these things. Let's study it.
what to do!"
"The puppet has no independent consciousness. Going back will only increase the danger..."
Chen Zhi said softly:
"However, if you can help us find the entrance to the Golden Cave, maybe I can help you. Although I can't give you real life, I can see the person who created you. Maybe then, you
You will find the meaning of your existence!"
"Oh! Chengzi, please stop saying such things to the little girl. Can she understand your formal official language?"
Fat Wei glared at Chen Zhi fiercely, then turned to look at Yingzi with a smile,
"I'm telling you, Yingzi, don't think so much. Now you just need to take us to the place. From now on, Fatty, I will take you to the city. It's so fun in the city. You can play whatever you want!"
Besides, what’s wrong with being lighter? Women in the city are all spending money to lose weight, but they can’t lose weight like you. As a girl, isn’t it normal to have a baby? Don’t worry, you’ll gain weight in the future.
Brother, take care of you~~~~~”
After Fat Wei finished speaking, his big pig kidney face turned red, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"But, I, I really don't know what the entrance is..."
Yingzi was a little anxious after being asked, but suddenly remembered something,
"I remember when I was young, I was playing with the children in the village in the ruins. They tricked me into a broken wall, and then they all ran away. When I got anxious, I fell directly to the ground.
At that time, my head fell down, and I thought I would be smashed, but the ground turned out to be soft. I looked down and found that the masonry on the ground had become soft, like a quilt.
Likewise, there is an old woman’s face smiling at me in the field!
After we returned to the village, people in the village said it was the appearance of the land mother-in-law, but from then on, when we went there again, we never saw the face of the mother-in-law."
"Do you still remember where the broken wall is?" Chen Zhi asked.
"Yes, remember!" Yingzi nodded.
"Well……",
After Chen Zhi said this, he looked at Fat Wei next to him.
